ELASTOMERIC ADHESIVE is any adhesive containing natural or synthetic rubber.

The use of Group II compounds and/or carbon tetrachloride may be restricted in the future because they are toxic,
potentially toxic, upper-atmosphere ozone depleters, or cause other environmental impacts. By January 1, 1996,
production of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), 1,1,1,-trichloroethane (methyl chloroform), and carbon tetrachloride will
be phased out in accordance with the Code of Federal Regulation Title 40, Part 82 (December 10, 1993).

EXTREME HIGH GLOSS COATING is any coating which achieves at least 95 percent reflectance on a 60o meter when
tested by ASTM Method D-523.

GRAMS OF VOC PER LITER OF COATING, LESS WATER AND LESS EXEMPT COMPOUNDS is the weight of VOC per combined volume
of VOC and coating solids and can be calculated by the following equation:

HEAT RESISTANT COATING is any coating which during normal use must withstand temperatures of at least 204°C
(400°F).

HIGH GLOSS COATING is any coating which achieves at least 85 percent reflectance on a 60° meter when tested
by ASTM Method D-523.

HIGH TEMPERATURE COATING is any coating which must withstand temperatures of at least 426°C (800°F).

LOW ACTIVATION INTERIOR COATING is any coating used on interior surfaces aboard ships to minimize the activation
of pigments on painted surfaces within a radiation environment.

MARINE COATING is any coating, except unsaturated polyester resin (fiberglass) coatings, containing volatile
organic materials and applied by any means to ships, boats, and their appurtenances, and to buoys and oil drilling
rigs intended for the marine environment.

METALLIC HEAT RESISTANT COATING is any coating which contains more than 5 grams of metal particles per liter
of coating as applied and which must withstand temperatures over 80°C (175°F).

NAVIGATIONAL AIDS are buoys or other Coast Guard waterway markers.

PRETREATMENT WASH PRIMER is any coating which contains at least 1/2-percent acids, by weight, to provide surface
etching and is applied directly to metal surfaces to provide corrosion resistance, adhesion, and ease of stripping.

REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE THERMOPLASTIC COATING is any resin-bearing coating, such as vinyl, chlorinated rubber,
or bituminous coatings, in which the resin becomes pliable with the application of heat, and is used to recoat
portions of a previously coated substrate which has sustained damage to the coating following normal coating operations.

SEALANT FOR WIRE-SPRAYED ALUMINUM is any coating of up to one mil (0.001 inch) in thickness of an epoxy material
which is reduced for application with an equal part of an appropriate solvent (naphtha, or ethylene glycol monoethyl
ether).

SOLVENT CLEANING OPERATION is the removal of loosely held uncured adhesives, uncured inks, uncured coatings,
and contaminants from parts, products, tools, machinery, equipment, and general work areas. Contaminants include,
but are not limited to, dirt, soil, and grease. In a cleaning process which consists of a series of cleaning methods,
each distinct method shall constitute a separate solvent cleaning operation.

SPECIAL MARKING COATING is any coating used for items such as flight decks, ships' numbers, and other safety/identification
applications.

TACK COAT is an epoxy coating of up to two mils (0.002 inch) thick applied to an existing epoxy coating. The
existing epoxy coating must have aged beyond the time limit specified by the manufacturer for application of the
next coat.

TOUCH-UP COATING is any coating used to cover minor imperfections prior to shipment appearing after the main
coating operation.

UNDERSEA WEAPONS SYSTEM is any or all components of a weapons system that is launched or fired underwater.

Except as otherwise provided in this rule, a person shall not apply a marine coating with a VOC content in excess
of the following limits, expressed as grams of VOC per liter of coating as applied, less water and less exempt
solvents:

(A) Owners and/or operators may comply with the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) by using an emission control
system, which has been approved in writing by the Executive Officer, for reducing VOC emissions. The control system
must achieve a minimum capture efficiency using USEPA, ARB, and District methods specified in subparagraph (e)(4)(A)
and a destruction efficiency of at least 85 percent by weight, and,

(B) The approved system shall reduce the VOC emissions, when using non-compliant coatings, to an equivalent
or greater level that would be achieved by the provisions in paragraph (c)(1). The required efficiency of an emission
control system at which an equivalent or greater level of VOC reduction will be achieved shall be calculated by
the following equation:

A person shall not solicit or require any other person to use, in the dDistrict, any coating
or combination of coatings to be applied to any marine vessel or marine component subject to the provisions of
this rule that does not meet the limits requirements of this rule or of an Alternative Emission Control Plan approved
pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (c)(3) of this rule.

The requirements of paragraph (d)(1) shall apply to all written or oral agreements executed or entered into
after November 4, 1988.

(e) Test Methods

Determination of VOC Content

The VOC content of coatings, subject to the provisions of this rule shall be determined by the following methods:

cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated ethers with no unsaturations;

cyclic, branched, or linear, completely fluorinated tertiary amines with no unsaturations; and

sulfur-containing perfluorocarbons with no unsaturations and with sulfur bonds only to carbon and fluorine,

will be analyzed as exempt compounds for compliance with subdivision (c), only when manufacturers specify which
individual compounds are used in the coating formulation. In addition, the manufacturers shall identify the USEPA,
California Air Resources Board, and the SCAQMD approved test methods used to quantify the amount of each exempt
compound

Determination of Metal Content
